This Is A Very Slippery Slope But I Keep Seeing Very Conflicting Views On Cait And I Have An Opinion.

It really is nice how obviously fond Elphaba is of Glinda right off the bat in the movie, with What Is This Feeling showcasing how much Elphaba enjoys their little feud. For the first time in her life, someone's judging her for her, rather than her skin or her magic. Glinda doesn't give a shit that she's green, she's mad that Elphaba's taste in clothes and decor clash so severely with her own! She doesn't care that Elphaba could accidentally kill her if she got too angry, she's too busy being upset that Elphaba keeps minorly inconveniencing her! How refreshing that would be, to meet the most annoying person in the world and discover that her own narcissism has caused her to be the only person who sees you for who you really are. Of course Elphaba would take the hat seriously as a gift -- has anyone other than Dulciebear ever gifted her anything? Of course she would gamble her own self-confidence at the Ozdust -- at worst, Glinda's ego is so massive that she would never allow her mortal enemy to be the butt of someone else's joke. And in the best case, well, Glinda recognizes how important she is to the one person that she knows has no one. The only one who gets her, the only one who has ever understood her, standoffish and rude the way a stray cat is before it finally follows you indoors.

It's a real shame this story couldn't be anything other than a tragedy, huh?

northern hemisphere babes we made it to the longest night of the year. we made it. for the next 6 months, every day will give us a little more daylight than the last. let's go. take my hand. climb out of the darkness with me

I need a collection of short stories that are just Juliette and Marshall's gossip sessions. I need to know what they talked about.

”Ekko’s in love with Powder, not Jinx.”

”Jinx and Powder are different people!”

”Episode 9 didn’t count as timebomb, that wasn’t Jinx, that was Powder.”

Did we even watch the same episode??? The whole point was that Jinx and Powder are the same, let me just -

I won't lie I'm one of those annoying people who prefers reading the physical copy over the digital copy. Especially if it's a story I Iove. Id much rather own the physical book and be able to come back to it whenever I want then having it on something digital. what if the thing breaks what then? And I know backing up stuff exists however I do not have the time nor energy to do that. I'd rather own a physical copy. For me it's much more stimulating to have the book in my minds. And if that means I have to wait to read the stuff I wanna read, thats fine I don't mind waiting because it means I get to appreciate it even more.

(I'm also a download over stream person but I don't have a laptop to be able to do that anymore. It's so much better to own a copy of something rather than borrow it like streaming does. It's leading to losing so much unfortunately)

You guys never got Nerve it was such a vibe and a relic of its time.

DEKE IS SO FUNNY.

He's what the show needed

Jayce looked at Viktor and turned into those girls thats like "Viktor look at me, look into my eyes this isn't you babe".

I just watched anora and immediately went to search for what the directer's interpretation of what the ending was and suffice to say I really don't think that is a good explanation.

Anora is a sex worker, we see how in the times she's with Ivan she's doing that, that's what she knows how to do. We aren't told much about her life but from what we know about sex workers it can be a traumatic livelyhood. For example I think her going by Ani is possibly a way for her to create a persona so the emotional toll of what she's doing doesn't affect her as badly.

Throughout the first hour of the film she's living this fantasy life and she's probably thinking now she can get out. However when Ivan's parents disapproval come into the picture that is shattered. The whole time she's looking for Ivan and getting the annulment she's actively fighting against it as she does not want the fantasy to end. This is also where her character comes into play she's strong and independent. She wants to be taken care of but realistically you've only got yourself in this world. Her character directly contrasts Ivan. He's a childish playboy who just wants to party and piss off his parents. His parents defending his every action and Toros cleaning up his fuck ups does not help him at all either. He does not stand up to his parents because he knows hell be cut off, he can entertain the idea but never truly live it. (referencing when he proposes to Ani) All this to say he's a spineless mommy's boy and unfortunately Anora would not have gotten her fantasy life from him.

This brings me to the ending. I'm not gonna generalize her I'm just going to analyze based off of her actions in the movie. Also what happened between her and Igor I'm gna label as the car scene.

Anora has insulted Igor the entire time however he is still nice to her because ultimately she got screwed over and put in a situation she did not ask for. And even after he's still helping her driving her home when Ivan just screwed her over and used her. She obviously allowed herself to get comfortable and allowed herself to get feelings for him. She's emotionally drained and probably traumatised. Throughout her time with Ivan she was sleeping with him. I heavily disagree with the director saying she slept with Ivan to "take back her power" and symbolizing her "entering into a new relationship where she has control"

That implies what she had with Ivan was a relationship. It was not. I think the poor girl was so traumatised from the situation and this guy was being kind to her, so she did what she thought she should to thank him. I that situation he just sat back and let her (i also don't like him in that situation) HOWEVER he did stop when she started broke down. And I think it was because him trying to kiss her was the first shred of humanity she was shown since she met Ivan. He was simply kind to her because unlike Ivan he didn't want anything from her. Which I don't think she's experianced much. The entire time she was referred to as a prostitute, hooker and escort. Meant to demean and dehumanise her. Ultimately the whole ordeal was dehumanising and I think she reacted in a way that was normal to her. Except this time it was much worse and she ended up breaking down.
